4 INSTALLATION NOTES 1. Do not drop, roll or drag boxes of aluminum framing. Move and stack boxes with proper support to prevent distortion. If fork lifts are used, be especially careful about striking the boxes when lifting or moving. 2. Store in a dry, out of the way area. If rain exposure, condensation or any water contact is likely, then all packaging material should be removed. Wet packaging materials will discolor and may stain aluminum finishes and paints. 3. All materials should be checked for quantity and quality upon receipt, YKK AP must be notified immediately of any discrepancies in shipment. Check to make sure that you have the required shims, sealants, supplies, and tools necessary for the installation. 4. Carefully check the openings and surrounding conditions that will receive your material. Remember, if the construction is not per the construction documents, it is your responsibility to notify the general contractor in writing. Any discrepancies must be brought to the general contractor s attention before you proceed with the installation. 5. Collect your shop drawings, materials, packing list, and this installation manual. Carefully review parts location, the sequence of installation, when you glaze it, and how you seal it. Installation instructions are of a general nature and may not cover every condition you will encounter. The shop drawings and/or installation manuals were prepared specifically for the product. 6. Any material substitutions must be of equal or greater quality. 7. Make certain that material samples have been sent for compatibility testing for all manufacturer s sealants involved. Make certain that sealants have been installed in strict accordance with the manufacturer s recommendations and specifications. 8. Consult sealant manufacture for proper sealant and backer rod selection. 9. Remember to isolate, in a approved manner, all aluminum from uncured masonry or other incompatible materials. 10. System-to-structure fasteners are not supplied by YKK AP. Fasteners called out on shop drawings are to indicate minimum sizes for design loading. 11. If any questions arise concerning YKK AP products or their installation, contact YKK AP for clarification before proceeding. Page-ii

5 INSTALLATION NOTES 12. YKK AP window installation is typically completed before drywall, flooring and other products which may still be in process. Take the extra time to wrap and protect the installed material. 13. Cutting tolerances are plus or minus one thirty second unless otherwise specified. 14. YKK AP Model YOW 250 T windows are prefinished, prefabricated, and preassembled products, and must be protected against damage. 15.Concrete, mortar, plaster, muriatic acid and other alkaline and acid based construction and cleaning materials may be very harmful to window finishes and should be removed with water and mild soap immediately or permanent damage or staining of the finishes will occur. A spot test is recommended before any cleaning agent is used, and abrasive type cleaners must never be used. 16. Windows are never to be used as ladders, step stools, scaffolds or scaffold supports. 17. All work must start from, and be referenced to benchmarks, offset lines and/or column centerlines established by the architectural drawings and the general contractor. 18. All windows must be installed plumb, square, level and true, and in accordance with approved shop drawings and these installation instructions. 19. Thermally broken frame and ventilator sections: Do not drill, punch, penetrate or modify the MegaTherm thermal barrier in any way. All perimeter anchor fasteners must be staggered from the front to back of the thermal barrier as noted in these instructions. 20. Glass and glazing building codes governing the design and use of products vary widely. YKK AP America Inc. does not control the selection of products, product configurations, operating hardware and function, or glazing materials, and YKK AP assumes no responsibility for these design considerations. It is the responsibility of the design professional, owner, architect, specifier, general contractor, and the installer to make these selections in strict accordance with all applicable codes. 21.
